Insight – Confessing your secrets on the Internet

The Internet has now become a confessional, with people using Web sites to anonymously tell their most personal secrets. Insight’s Vicki Haddock explores the phenomenon in an interview with Insight Editor Jim Finefrock.

Some of the confessions are a hoot, like the person who has an odd sexual thing for Ronald McDonald. But some are also touching and painfully honest. One confession read: “I trashed my parents’ house to look like I had a house party while they were out of town – so my mom would think I had friends.’

A special “enhanced” version of this podcast that includes photos of the postcards sent to PostSecret.com is also available for download.

You can view the enhanced podcast if you have an iPod that can display color images (such as the Nano or video iPod). (Clicking in the middle of the device’s control wheel will enlarge the image.)

This special podcast can also be viewed on your computer using Apple’s iTunessoftware. (Just make sure you’ve selected “show artwork” under the “edit” menu of the program. To skip to different chapters, look for the book icon near the top of iTunes.)
